Graphic lambda calculus consists of a class of graphs endowed with moves between them. It might be considered a visual language in the sense of Erwig [1]. The name comes from the fact that it can be used for representing terms and reductions from untyped lambda calculus. Its main move is called the graphic beta move for its relation to the beta reduction in lambda calculus. However, the graphic...

We used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to explore the spatiotemporal dynamics of neural oscillations associated with sentence processing in 102 participants. We quantified changes in oscillatory power as the sentence unfolded, and in response to individual words in the sentence. For words early in a sentence compared to those late in the same sentence, we observed differences in left temporal and...

The brain's remarkable capacity for language requires bidirectional interactions between functionally specialized brain regions. We used magnetoencephalography to investigate interregional interactions in the brain network for language while 102 participants were reading sentences. Using Granger causality analysis, we identified inferior frontal cortex and anterior temporal regions to receive w...

OBJECTIVE In this study the authors describe the system submitted by the team of University of Szeged to the second i2b2 Challenge in Natural Language Processing for Clinical Data. The challenge focused on the development of automatic systems that analyzed clinical discharge summary texts and addressed the following question: "Who's obese and what co-morbidities do they (definitely/most likely)...

We introduce the Beta Workbench (BWB), a scalable tool built on top of the newly defined BlenX language to model, simulate and analyse biological systems. We show the features and the incremental modelling process supported by the BWB on a running example based on the mitogen-activated kinase pathway. Finally, we provide a comparison with related approaches and some hints for future extensions.

neurological inflammatory diseases are developing rapidly. different factors involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases. in this article, we discuss some of the mechanisms are dealt with. an aberrant procedure of beta-amyloid precursor protein (bapp) to form neurotoxic beta-amyloid peptides and an accumulated insoluble polymer of beta –amyloid (ba) that forms the senile plaque. the above pr...

beta-thalassemia, by its high frequency and heterogenecity, constitues a real problem of health in iran. aboute 13 beta globin mutations encompass 70-90% of mutations spectrum in iran, the rest are rare or unknown. in this study six mutations of the codon ivsi-130(g-c), fr16 (-c), codon35 (-c), fr23/24(-g), codon8 (+g) and codon 20 (gtg-gag) were recognized and added to spectrom of beta globin ...

Background: &beta-glucans are glucose polymers with a variety of stimulatory effects on the immune system. The objective of this study was to evaluate the immune-enhancing activities of low molecular weight gamma irradiated &beta-glucan (I&beta-g) extracted from Pleurotus ostreatus in response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in rats. Materials and Methods: &beta-glucan (&beta-g) powder was ...
